Mormons and the Media

The Mormon Moment may have officially passed, but the Mormon Media Studies Symposium carries on. The event, in its third iteration, looks at the relationship between the media and Mormonism, including the recent decree of Elder David A. Bednar for church members to "flood the earth with gospel messages of truth." BYU journalism professor Joel Campbell, who previously worked for the Deseret News and The Salt Lake Tribune, is a co-organizer of the symposium and gave City Weekly a preview of some of the topics that will be discussed at the free event (BYU Salt Lake Center, 3 Triad Center, 345 W. North Temple, Salt Lake City, Oct. 17, 9 a.m.-5 p.m.).
